Overview

Ex-Jockey Randall Drew wird in einer delikaten Mission nach Moskau geschickt. Ein mysteriöses Wesen mit Namen »Alyosha« bedroht einen königlichen Kandidaten an den Olympischen Spielen in Moskau. Der Auftrag ist vage, der Gegner unsichtbar, und die Hindernisse sind eigentlich unüberwindlich...

Dick Francis, geboren 1920, war viele Jahre Englands erfolgreichster Jockey, bis ein mysteriöser Sturz 1956 seine Karriere beendete. Fast 50 Jahre lang schrieb er Thriller, die das Pferderenn- und Wettmilieu als Hintergrund haben. Seine 42 Romane wurden alle Bestseller. Dick Francis starb 2010.
